Following a trial at Preston Crown Court he was sentenced on Thursday 29 May to 22 years in prison.
Police released a short excerpt from the victim impact statement.
She said: “It’s been such a long time since I felt happiness I just feel hurt and lost. I’m tired of being in survival mode daily just to get through each day.”
Detective Sergeant Gem Lashley of the rape and serious sexual offences team said; “Firstly, I want to commend the victim for the incredible resilience, strength and bravery she has shown in reporting this to us, and throughout the court process.
“Understandably, Robinson’s actions will have had a huge impact on her, but I hope she can now begin to move forward with her life knowing that Robinson has been brought to justice and is serving a significant custodial sentence for his crimes.
“Robinson’s crimes were abhorrent. When his victim told him to stop, he continued to rape her. He is a dangerous man, and I am pleased he has been brought to justice.
“If you have been a victim of any sexual offence, please come forward. We will listen to what you have to say, we will carry out a thorough investigation, and we will do all we can to put the person responsible before the courts.”
